Story

Prologue

Following Lord Voltech's apparent defeat and imprisonment the barriers separating numerous sections of the LEGO multiverse have decayed, allowing dangerous villains from these worlds to learn of the existence of the Foundation Elements and begin to corrupt their power, in turn threatening the multiverse as past, future and aspects of possibility in each universe are thrown into question. Lex Luthor, Saruman and Lord Business meet up in a section of what appears to be the Voltech world, claiming that the heroes who thwarted Voltech previously can be manipulated, but also that new dimensions have become influenced with new allies as a selection of shadowed figures emerge from a glowing portal.

In Metropolis Batman and Superman are checking out strong energy readings of a temporal nature, only to suddenly discover an open portal where Superman is shocked to see his father Jor-El emerge via a portal from what looks to be Krypton in the past, only to see his father pulled through a second portal via a giant mechanical hand. Batman suspects something similar to the previous experience and tells Clark to check further whilst he teleports over to Gotham to use the Batcomputer, only to find similar effects as parts of the city gain a steampunk, Victorian like look. He encounters a second Batman battling a version of Joker who he realizes comes from some sort of alternate dimension - the Gotham by Gaslight Universe - before more parts of Gotham start to shift and change, this time to the Batman Beyond Universe as he finds an aged Bruce Wayne and Terry McGinnis fighting Blight and Inque. Knowing that the effects are growing worse, the original Batman spies a glowing red portal in an alley similar to the one which took Robin in the first game. Just as he is about to run through there is a burst of energy and out drops Spider-Man! Before the heroes can properly talk they are attacked by a wave of enemies from both the Gotham by Gaslight and Batman Beyond Universes and the Player gets a taste of combat and stud gathering.

Once safe and confused at his unknown surroundings the pair of heroes size each other up, Peter cracking jokes at the Dark Knight's gloomy nature before Bruce asks who he is and where he came from. Declaring himself to be Spider-Man the web head explains he was right in the middle of dealing with Green Goblin and Venom and rescuing his wife Mary Jane when a strange set of energy readings across New York - his New York since Batman realizes that he is from another dimension - started to spread across the city and the wider world, leading to brief flashes of the X-Men fighting Sentinels from the Days of Future Past reality, Hulk and the Avengers being attacked by the Maestro and an array of confused looking Spidey types like Spider-Man 2099 and Spider Gwen! MJ got pulled through a strange portal along with both Green Goblin and Venom amid a sinister laugh, to which the web head leapt through after them and arrived here.

Batman explains to Spider-Man that the effects are similar in nature to events which happened in the previous game, prompting Peter to wonder why if it was so widespread why it didn't affect his universe last time. Cut to Deadpool - "Copyright!" In any case the two heroes agree they need to try and find out if this 'infection' is spreading and reach the Voltech World - fortunately X-Po left Batman a communicator to alert him of such an event, creating a new blue portal which the pair leap through, leaving the Gotham by Gaslight Batman and Terry to argue over who is the real Batman as the old Bruce watches on with a sigh.

(Gandalf and Hermione Section)

(Wyldstyle and Finn Section)

In the Doctor Who Universe the Twelfth Doctor is called to UNIT by Kate Lethbridge Stewart and Osgood, who reveal that strange energy readings and temporal interference is starting to spread all across the planet. Reports of Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans and Silurians popping up in different places too, either from the past or future or even elsewhere. The Doctor resolves to investigate, only to find his TARDIS spinning wildly out of control before it lands haphazardly in the Voltech Dimension. Displayed emerging on a view screen, a shadowed female figure gives a bemused evil laugh before revealed to be Missy!
